Les Grandes Espérances La Genie Orange Bio 2020 (13%)

An organic orange wine from the Loire, made from Sauvignon Blanc with skin maceration. The grapes are organically grown and undergo longer skin contact, drawing tannins and aroma compounds from the skins. The wine is unfiltered in appearance, with an intense amber colour and copper tones. It is dry and medium-bodied, with tannic structure, a mineral backbone and notes of dried apricot, orange peel, quince, walnut, jasmine and green tea. The finish is long, complex and slightly bitter, a stylistic trait of orange wines. It is suited to fermented and umami-rich dishes, Middle Eastern-inspired vegetarian food, mature cheeses and Nordic specialities such as smoked fish or pickled vegetables.
